It was already past ten when the black Bentley made a stop in front of the house and the newly wedded couple alighted. The smile on Clarissa’s face continued to widen as she saw how decorated the house was and how all his workers from the old house decided to welcome her with flowers and gifts. It was a sweet gesture and she couldn’t help but enjoy it, even Alex had a huge smile on his face.“Congratulations on your wedding” some of them began to say.“Congratulations on your wedding” Esperanza walked up to them and pulled Clarrisa into her embrace, “I am so happy for you, my princess”“Thank you so much aunt” the now married Clarrisa answered with an excited glee on her face“Why don’t we go in?” Alex suggested as he threw his hand over her shoulder and Clarrisa couldn’t help but blush, “you have been in those heels for hours now, your leg must hurt a lot”Before she could even answer him, Alex picked her up princess style and made his way into the house which made her blush even har
“How are you related to Baxter, Alex?” Gerald had to ask, “you have been mentioning my friend for a while now, I am not sure if I quite understand you at this point. Do you have something on me?”With a smirk hovering across his lips, Alexander walked back to the chair and lowered himself on it,“What do you think Gerald! I may be someone related to him. I may be someone who knows all of your evil deeds, wanna try me?”Gerald’s mind wandered off, he was trying to remember if Baxter had any son that was somewhere. The Baxter he knew didn’t have any other family members aside from the ones he massacred years ago and now….“Look Gerald” he leaned forward, “I don’t want to hurt your precious daughter so you will do as I say”Gerald balled his hand into a fist as the look in his eyes intensified, he felt like strangulating Alex with his bare hands.“Fine” he finally answered, “I will let them go but on one condition”Alex’s forehead creased into a frown, “for a man who’s daughters life is
It was already past midnight when Alex sauntered into the house, Clarrisa was still awake and the moment she heard the door open, she immediately sat up.“You are still awake?” Alex asked while removing his shirt, “it is so late and you haven’t gone to bed”“Where did you go, Alex?” Clarrisa purposely ignored his question, “tonight is supposed to be our wedding night but you left me, why? What exactly was so important that you had to leave just a few hours after our wedding?”“I told you it was something important” he hissed, “don’t you get it?” Alex was struggling to contain his anger, he didn’t want to make it look like she was irritating but her questions were annoying.Clarrisa dragged her body out of bed and made her way to where he was standing and encircled his waist.“I know you have a lot of business going on and I am not trying to stop you, I just thought it would be appropriate for us to spend the day together. We got married today and we have not even had the time to ce
Clarrisa’s eyes opened wide in surprise, she thought Alex and here he was, she didn’t even know what to say or do. The emotions were overwhelming for her and she just kept smiling, it was the only thing she could do at the moment.“I will give you two love birds some alone time” after talking, Esperanza kissed Risa gently on her head and patted Alexander’s back before walking out of the room leaving the two of them.“You thought I had left?” Alex asked when he set cake on the bedside table.“I woke up and didn’t see you” she shrugged, “that was the first thing that came to my mind, I don’t……..” her voice trailed off when he pulled her closer and snaked his hand around her waist.“I am sorry I left last night, okay? I just had something to take care of and it couldn’t wait but for the whole weekend I am yours okay?”“For real?” Her expression was priceless, “like are you being serious?”“Of course baby, you should get dressed okay?”“Why?” Her forehead creased into a slight frown, “are
Fifteen year old Jayden was on his bed and his eyes were glued to the screen of his computer when his door creaked open and his mum entered. She had a bright smile on her face and Jayden returned the smile when his eyes caught the gift box she was with.It was Christmas Eve by the way and it was a tradition in the house to exchange gifts on such days. His dad and his two elder sisters already gave him their first own gifts and his mum was bringing hers now. He in return made cards for them which they willingly accepted.Jayden had always been a social nerd and he didn’t even know how to mingle with people. His parents were freaking rich but that didn’t stop him from being an introverted nerd.“Won’t you even come down for dinner?” His mum asked as she perched on the bed beside him, “everyone is downstairs and you are here” her voice was filled with a lot of love and concern towards her last child and her only son, she loved him with all of her being and in return Jayden loved all of th
Alexander Chase opened his eyes to the sound of his alarm ringing but he was feeling funny.First of all he studied the room and his face creased into a frown, how did he get here? This room didn’t even look like his room at all.He was still in his reverie when his door flung open and a man walked inside the room. He was in his late fifties and he looked dignified.“You have a meeting with the new investors sir”“Sir?” The man on the bed cringed, how did he become sir? Was this man mistaken or what?“Why are you calling me sir?” Alex asked and the man in front of him creased his face into a frown but quickly masked it up with a fake smile.“I understand you are trying to be hilarious sir but it doesn’t suit you, the maids have gotten your clothes ready. I will have it delivered”After talking, he turned on his heel and left the room.Alexander Chase was a man who commanded respect anywhere he went, one of the country's richest and most influential men but right now he was behaving like
Gerald was having his usual evening tea when his daughter sauntered into the house looking dejected, the moment he saw her angry face he immediately dropped his tea. His family was one thing he never played with, he loved his daughter and his wife so much and was ready to give them the word, even his son was not left out. Everything he did was for them.“What happened princess?” He asked after she came to sit beside him, “why do you look so upset”Clarrisa sighed as she placed her head on his shoulder, “apparently Alex doesn’t remember anything about us dad, he has been behaving weird, I even tried making his favorite dish but he says he doesn’t like any of the dishes I made” she had a pout on her lips while talking, “I feel like I am going crazy dad”Gerald gave her a little smile, “you know how Alex is my darling” his voice was authoritative, “this is not a different Alex from the Alex we know. Remember he didn’t even want you coming near him at the beginning, you shouldn’t be both
“What did you say?” He asked to be sure, the man who killed his family was his father in law to be? Was this a joke or something?Aiden raked his hand through his hair, this was the longest time he had spent with Alex. The man was always busy with work and never smiled, now he was like his personal assistant telling him everything he wanted to know. He felt like he was going crazy.“Are you sure you didn’t take a drug or something? How the hell don’t you remember anything?”“Is Gerald my father in law to be?” Alex questioned again, deep within his mind he was hoping that it was a lie. How would he face him? The man that massacred his own family and him inclusive ten years ago.“Yes Alex, he is”Alex was stunned, he didn’t know what to say or how to feel. Was fate trying to play a fast one on him? How did everything become like this? How did Gerald become this close to him?“Are you sure?”“I was at your engagement man” Aiden answered, he felt like giving Alex a kick to the groin and h
